RE: Slash problem in link

["Harpreet" <harpreet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My images folder and the login page is at the root of my main project.

f:/inetpub/wwwroot/project/login.php
f:/inetpub/wwwroot/project/images\onlylogo.gif"

The link <IMG src="images/onlylogo.gif"> works in the login.php at home
but <IMG src="/images/onlylogo.gif"> does not work

Customers path is
C:\project\servicepack\WebPages\login.php
C:\project\servicepack\WebPages\images\onlylogo.gif"

The link <IMG src="/images/onlylogo.gif"> works in the login.php
but <IMG src="images/onlylogo.gif"> does not work

I am running php on IIS customer is PHP on Apache. Do i need to change any
php setting in ini file
Thanks

Regards,
Harpreet

I think its better to have the image folder in the root directory eg
www.website.com/image and then have the code as <img
src="/image/website.png" />.  That way, it would be able to access the image
from anyway in your web site...(I Think)

  With the "/" you are delcaring that the image is in the directory
"images",
  relative to the server root (maybe "c:\program
  files\apache\htdocs\images\onlylogo.gif" giving a webaddress of
  "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/onlylogo.gif";). Whereas without the "/"
you
  are declaring that the image is in the "images" directory, relative to the
  PHP script (or HTML page) (maybe "c:\program
  files\apache\htdocs\MYWEBSITE\images\onlylogo.gif" giving
  "http://www.mywebsite.com/MYWEBSITE/images/onlylogo.gif";). So I think it
is
  just a HTML problem.
